The Knowledge of Counting Is Wisdom

The Manalos have learned their lessons during the past nine decades the hard way. In the early history of politics in the Philippines, when the Republic was still young; and when politicians needed the support of as many groups as possible; Manalo claiming to have 4 million members, was the object of attention among those who were seeking for elective office, specifically during the elections in 1949.

Then Senate President Jose Avelino, was the choice of Felix Manalo against then incumbent President Elpidio Quirino and former President Jose P. Laurel, whose presidencies did not please Manalo. Apparently, the Iglesia ni Cristo of Manalo was not enjoying the support of the incumbent administration.

In an interview with the Philippine Free Press, Manalo firmly expressed his support for the rival of the former and incumbent presidents respectively, even using censorable language against then President Quirino.

But what was perceived to be a winning choice from an “alleged angel” from the Far East did not become a reality. Jose Avelino lost and Quirino won the presidency! Quirino got 1,803,808 votes while Avelino got only 419,890 votes with the INCM's solid votes from members (according to their claim) numbering to 4 million, when the entire Philippine population was only about 19,674,000.

Claiming to have 5 million members as early as 1966, (in their Pasugo, July 1966, p. 6, cited above) the choice of Manalo for the presidency lost in the May 11, 1992 elections. President Fidel V. Ramos won with 5,342,521 votes and Cojuangco, whom Manalo had chosen, got only 4,116,000 votes, inclusive of the votes of Catholics, Protestants and Cojuangco’s men in his vast business empire.

After the 1992 elections they have learned their lessons! Never again did they endorse a candidate months before the election. They would wait for the results of reliable surveys and three or two days before the elections, they would endorse the candidate who appeared to be number one in the survey, to make it appear that, if the candidate wins, it was they who made him win.

Time and again, it was proven by facts and figures, that the claims of the Iglesia ni Cristo of Manalo about the number of their members are lies!

President Noynoy Aquino (whom they endorsed less than a week before the election and was number one in the pre-election survey) won against his closest rival, former President Joseph Estrada, with a margin of 6 million votes, while his running mate for Vice President, Senator Mar Roxas (whom the INC also endorsed), was defeated by Mayor, now Vice President, Jejomar Binay, proving that it was not their votes who made President Noynoy to be the president of the Philippines!

Anybody wants to know the truth? A little arithmetic will help!

REVELATION 13:18

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The knowledge of counting is widsom, very unfortunate for the members of INC Iglesia ni Manalo that their leaders did not obtain it. It makes me conclude that neither they will arrive to the understanding of biblical parables and wisdom. Let us hope the politician learn their lesson.

Praised be GOD for this blog, every piece of explanation is helpful to the readers. More power!!!

Even at an early age, we are being taught by our parents to count. In fact it is one of the first lessons we learn after being able to speak. Or at times even when a kid can not speak yet, when asked about his age, he demonstrates it with his fingers. All these are clear to me now because the Bible confirms that the knowledge of counting is wisdom.How miserable are the people who misses the proper counts specially in obvious and large numbers. That is not wisdom.

It's high time that the so-called "kingmaking" scheme of the Church of Manalo (INC) be exposed! Much evil in our country has its roots from this false claim of the INC. Thanks be to God that the Truthcaster is around to enlight people about them!

"Claiming to have 5 million members as early as 1966, (in their Pasugo, July 1966, p. 6, cited above) the choice of Manalo for the presidency lost in the May 11, 1992 elections. President Fidel V. Ramos won with 5,342,521 votes and Cojuangco, whom Manalo had chosen, got only 4,116,000 votes, inclusive of the votes of Catholics, Protestants and Cojuangco’s men in his vast business empire. "Certainly true.

Many people, including members of Manalo's group, are in the dark about these things. I am thankful to God that there is Mr. CX to lay these matters in the open for us not to be deceived. A religious group dishonest with facts and numbers should not be trusted.

You may think that counting is as easy as 1 2 3! Hold on, because it's not just a number. There's wisdom in counting! You should know the knowledge in it so you can understand counting the number of the beast!

INCM from time and again was claiming numbers that were lies! Proving that his church really isn't knowledgeable in counting, rather he be counted as one acquiring number of the beast!

May God continue pouring wisdom to Bro. Eli for the people to gain wisdom and knowledge.

This is another interesting material coming from Mr. Controversy X! Especially there are statistical figures included. I hope this article reaches the knowledge of every Filipino so that they will make the right choices this coming national polls.

Another informative Blog and timely... if Politicians will read this they will definitely will be enlighten and they will know the Truth of what INC is doing...#KingMakerMythOfINC - INC is NOT a King Maker!

To God be the Glory., it is a noticeable fact that the Iglesia ni Kristo does not know how to count... They're only trying to give an impression to the People that they are of large number but the truth is that they do not have a truthful count of there members.

"The Knowledge of Counting is Wisdom "REVELATION 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

To God be the glory. This blog is very informative and should be read especially now, the election is coming so soon. Hopefully, those politicians would open their eyes and know the truth behind INC's "fooling system".

Everything that can be used to enlighten people, is a way that the Lord provided from the start, to reach and lit up the path every man should take. Another blog worth reading, and definitely an eye-opening one. And as always to God be the glory.

It is our guide for voting in this upcoming national election. Thank you Mr.ControversyX for the guide to not choose those candidates that are bowed in favor to iglesia ni Manalo. Vote wisely my countrymen. #KingMakerMythOfINC

May the Filipino people truly realize the MONEY-MAKING & INFLUENCE PEDDLING schemes behind BLOC VOTING which is being espoused by some unscrupulous religious leaders in the guise of invoking unity of the members of their church. In effect, it is a CHURCH VOTE FOR SALE promo which contravenes not only the constitutional principle and statutory proscription on the inviolability of SEPERATION OF CHURCH & STATE but, more importantly, the human rights of their members, especially their freedom of suffrage. As clearly shown by facts, hndi nman kingmaker ng election result ang INC kundi KINGRIDER ng poll survey. Thnx a lot Mr. Controversy for your very informative and enlightening blog. To GOD be the glory.

I truly believe that knowledge comes from God and the wisdom from "counting" is one of the way God wants us to know to lead us in understanding Gods immeasurably greatness, unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, duration of time, etc...and this knowledge of counting clearly shows how this amazing preacher from the Philippines have proven how Felix Manalo , Iglesia ni Cristo manipulated to claim that there are millions of them...in exchange of favor for their political support... This is undeniably wisdom that comes from God made by Mrcontroversyxtraordinary to exposed such anomaly and stinking tactics made by many religions to gain favor...I love reading this blog...another expose' made by Mrcontroversyxtraordinary for the people to know the truth in the Bible.

Sad to say, wisdom in any form cannot be found in the INM, may it be wisdom in counting, wisdom in biblical logic, wisdom in the mysteries in the bible. It is only with the Church of God you will find Wisdom from God which he is sharing with us every time we are listening to Bro Eli. Thanks be to God!
